ALLOY.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 692,198, dated January 28, 1902.

Application filed May 4, 1901. Serial No. 58,831. (No specimens.)

and No. 640,775, dated March 26, 1901. These Letters Patent relate to the commercial mannor of making and manipulating an alloy of iron and hydrogen and mention its valuable qualities. In alloying this combination of iron and hydrogen with copper I fuse it with the latter in proportions relative to the degree of strength and hardness desired for different purposes. To obtain about the strength and hardness of cast-iron, I use 79.89 parts iron, .11 parts hydrogen, and twenty parts copper. In some cases I add tin in proportions similarly determined, beginning at two per cent. The qualities of the said alloy are very high resisting power to oxidation by the atmosphere, moisture, brine, &c., and toughness, strength, and hardness.

I claim as my invention- An alloy consisting of iron, hydrogen and copper. I

In testimony that I claim theinvention as above set forth I aftix my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
